As a thing of beauty the new pat
tern coal stove at Dodge & Sons takes /
the lead. 1t is unlike any previous /
pattern, and is in all probability the
most complete stove yet Invented.
Any one expecting or in want of
syrup or vinegar from POwell's mill |
will have to secure it before the work
is finished, which will be by the fif-
teenth, as all left at that time is sold.
Major Burnett having disposed of
his farm will go with wife to the

Jno. Waggoner, editor of the Eau
Claire Free Press, was in the city on
Saturday and favored the JOURNAL
with a call. MIR. Waggoner is one of
the lights of journalism that is never
hid under a bushel, and we hope his
light may shine for long years to come.
Val. Weiseud was arrested at Still
water on Saturday last for leaving cat
tie in car over night, charged with
cruelty to animals. saltwater justice

cars arrived there In the night and
Mr.. w. could not unload the cattle.
The complainant should have medal.
Mr.. Weisend was discharged.

On Tuesday night there was circus
on the street in which whisky WAS

/ Grant, deliTiOus with drink, drove fu-
/ riOusly up Main street regardless of
the city ordinancel, then repeated the

/ On Thursday night last, Week City
| Band gave a serenade TO the family of
Prof. T.. 5. Reed on Main street, in APP
probation of which they were invited
to discuss a set out prepared by the
deft hand of the hostess. 1t was
a spread of choice, tOOthsome yiands,
and was immensely enjoyed by the
band boys, who are quick to recognize
spontaneous kindness, and slow TO for
get such evidences of appreciation.
w. w. Forbes and wife, of Mime
apolis, were guests at the Gladstone

manent residents IN the community.
Mr.. Forbes has purchased Major Bur

Ty purposes, with the view of running

two brothers owns other large farms
and is posted in the butter business.
lie will take immediate possession of
the farm.
The Wisconsin Congregational Con-
yentiOn. in session at Whitewater last

are reported in the state 202 churches,
seven of which have been added the

can be found at his Office in the IRE
mont block at all hours. The dental

amount of work in their circuit, and
desire to urge upon their patrons the !
desirability of prompt action so that |
no time may be lost at their several |

work is fast winning for them an en- |
viable reputation. and they invite all |
who have need of skilled service to |
/ give them a trial.
! We are pleased TO note thatth pub /
| lie school thus far seems to be running /
| smoothly. We regret TO have observed /
a disposition on the part of some pat /
rons of the school to be ''cold' on the /
4 management because of dissatisfaction |
with the school board. a moments |
reflection will make clear the great |
/ injustice and folly of this. Prof. Bur-
/ ton is here without fault on his part.
and justice To him as well as the inter
| est of the school children require the |
most cordial cooperation on the part +
| of the citizens.

I of WashbuTn. Wis, the first number /
of which gives evidence that Mr.. /
/ Yates intends to give his patrons the /
worth of their money. Through our 1

| qualifications for successful journalism 4
/ and will meet the community in which /
